Pet Boarding Training near Corte Madera

“I adopted a cattle dog mix from Compassion without Borders about a month ago. She was from a Mexican shelter and had only been in the Compassion without Borders Shelter for 2.5 months before I adopted her. Ellie is an amazing dog but was fearful of people, cars, riding in cars and walking in public places. Kirsten taught me how to understand Ellie and to cultivate a loving nurturing bond. She's so wonderful to work with and offers training techniques tailored for Ellie and me. After 3 sessions and working daily using Kirsten's training techniques, Ellie is comfortable riding not only my car but other people's cars. She is calmer in general and eager to engage with people in public places. I highly recommend Kirsten as one of the best dog behaviorists I have ever worked with.

“We adopted a doberman mix and it was clear on day 2 that this was not going to be an easy dog. He was very willful, energetic and had some very unpredictable aggression issues - as in I could not walk him without him lunging and even, to my horror, nipping people on several occasions. My dog was also determined to rip my shoulder out of it's socket. Now we walk without incident and pulling. There have been other bumps along the way, but John always handles them in a very calm and compassionate manner. My dog, who is not overly affectionate, loves to see John: his tail always thumps upon John's arrival.“

“I took Mary's Shy Dog Class with my new rescue dog, Gromit. In the 6 week time period, Gromit has come so far! He is more confident and playful. I learned techniques to help Gromit to feel safe, and encourage good behavior at home and when we are out and about. Gromit is fitting in well with our family. Thanks Mary!“

“Sid is GREAT! My dog Poppy has had daycare with Sid 2-3 days a week for 3 years and occasionally overnight boarding. It is wonderful to see how Poppy lights up when she sees Sid, and I always feel she is in great hands, safe and active with playmates in a small group setting. Sid is conscientious, organized and in a terrific location. Highly recommend!“

“Jeff helped us so much! We adopted our dog, Ted, from the SPCA in June, and he was very fearful. He was afraid of going on walks, he wouldn't let us put collars, harnesses, or leashes on him, he would bark like crazy if we had any guests come into our apartment, and he wasn't housetrained. We had one zoom session and 3 in-person sessions with Jeff, and now Ted is about 98% housetrained, has no problem with guests, and he loves walks! He used to hide, growl, and snap when we tried to put the leash on him, and we weren't able to walk him at all for the first two months we had him, but now he actually gets excited when we get the leash out! Jeff gave us excellent advice throughout the whole process and we couldn't have done it without him.“

“I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Dogra and his clinic. My experience with them was nothing short of great. Dr. Dogra and his staff made me feel welcomed and at ease from the moment I walked in. He took the time to listen to my concerns about Leia, my German Shepherd and conducted a thorough examination with care and precision. His knowledge and experience were evident as he explained the diagnosis and treatment plan in detail, ensuring I understood every step of the process. One aspect that particularly impressed me was Dr. Dogra's attention to detail and professionalism. He provided all the necessary notes for my dog's insurance claim, making the process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Dogra to anyone in need of a veterinarian who provides exceptional care with compassion and expertise. Thank you, for your commitment to the health and happiness of our furry friends!“

“Paul is an excellent and experienced trainer, kind person, and knows an incredible amount of about dogs. He taught us so much, both during our sessions and after with follow up content. He was great with our fearful and reactive dog, taking the time to build her confidence, and teaching me what to do, how and when to do it. She also stayed with him for a week or so while we were away and did very well. We plan to continue working with Paul and trust him completely!“

“I have used Karma both previously in Texas and now in the bay area. I have a leash reactive Labrador and was paired with Viviane. Viviane was so excellent and within three sessions my dog was more calm, more responsive, and happier in high stress situations. Viviane did a great job training me as well to better communicate with my dog. She was great, she met me first at my home in San Francisco, and then we met in the middle in San Mateo. Karma and Viviane provide after action reports and items to practice in between sessions.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“After having not seen these dogs for a little bit, they still remember me! I just love The Little Dog Chateaux doggies!!!“

“Amy was wonderful with my three month old blue heeler. My pup is very active and smart, and Amy gave us some key tools, tips and basic training techniques to use for my active and smart pup. She also helped with recommendations for harnesses, puppy food, socialization tips, recall tips, house training, etc. I would recommend her to any new puppy parents!“

“I have wonderful experiences with the owner Gina and Karen who has taken care of Mango (the best orange tabby cat) several times for a week or several days at a time. Prompt responses to emails, timely updates while I'm gone, very professional.“

“I love French Franck! While I live in San Francisco, I am willing to trek all the way over to Sausalio to take my dear baby boy Booger (see photos in my profile) to the Sausalito Pet Hotel where Frank takes very good care of him. Booger gets a big cushy space and he always comes home smiling, happy and smelling good. Rumor has it, French Frank and his staff take the dogs on walks on the beach! Love it! I highly recommend the Sausalito Pet Hotel.“

“GDB does a great job raising and taking care of dogs. As a care provider they take appts for their dogs and the vet team does a great job monitoring the dog's history. Just brought dog in to take care of allergy and itch related issue and picked up monthly heartguard medicine, weighed, nails clipped and got some antibacterial soap and mint toothpaste. We're ready for the weekend“

“Brought my new scared rescue pup in for treatment and the staff are all very sweet and patient with her and me! Bright new office with lots of space to even sit in a little semi private alcove if you need a little extra distance. Parking can be a little tricky, but I found I can park in the United grocery parking lot and it’s a short easy walk inside to the vet. No worries!“

“Everyone working at Terra Linda Vet are caring and delightful people. I’ve recommended them to several people.“

“Our goldendoodle was a very stubborn guy. We tried several training programs, which all helped a little, but Isabel at Spectrum Canine helped us train Otis so well that he is now a certified therapy dog! We just had our first solo volunteer day as a canine companion pair and he did so well! He is an amazing family dog - kind, sweet, playful and a good listener. Thank you Isabel and Spectrum Canine.“

“Amber was so nice and awesome!
I went in to get our dog's nails trimmed and was under a little bit of a time crunch... she got him in and out right away. ( I talked to her just a bit earlier about coming in though ).
Everything was great!“
